Kim Reid, CPC, CPMA, CEMC, CPC-I is the director of ICD-10 development and training for AAPC andwas recently quoted in an article on health care outsourcing talking about ICD-10 in a blog called Outsourcing Insider. She says that the priority for ICD-10 is still not where it should be as we creep closer to 2013. AAPC is a staunch propoent of getting ready for ICD-10 now, rather than waiting until 2013 or even 2012 because the implementation will take significant time for all workers in a practice.
